The disciples were bummed. They had placed all of their eggs in the one basket; Jesus. All hopes rode on his coattails. When he was publicly executed the hearts sank right along with their hopes. It was all over and they couldn't believe it....literally.
A few days later the unexplainable happened. Even though the doors were closed and without them being opened, he walked right in. Of course it took them by surprise, but he actually did it. He walked right in. That entrance changed entire kingdoms on earth. He rocked the very world which just a short time ago had tried to confine him forevermore behind a rock. He was up! He was out! He was back!
We at Memorial believe he will walk in again tomorrow. Four or five of us believe that when we gather at our usual 7:30 a.m. hour-long prayer time, he will have already walked in and be waiting. Jesus will sit with us tomorrow. The most exciting news is he'll have just been sitting with a few in a county jail in Tennessee, an emergency room in Tallahassee, and later a small church in Tucson. He will note the saints in China, the blind in the home in Germany and the family reunion being carried out in South Africa.
Jesus walks into our settings. He is the main guest. When you gather tomorrow wishing for better sermon or singing or crowd, don't forget to be glad the Guest walked in. Celebrate the fact he is still up, still out, and still back!
God, would you bless the readers for believing an invisible world to be true?
